Thanks to Facebook, I got a free 1-year membership to Shoprunner.com. All I had to do was “like” their facebook page and I now have free 2-day shipping from a ton of stoes on the internet for an entire year. I’ve thought about signing up with them before, but couldn’t really justify the purchase. Now I don’t have to!

For those who don’t know, Shoprunner.com offers free 2-day shipping with NO minimum order to over 50 websites, like Drugstore.com, Toys-r-us, Newegg, etc. It’s like Amazon Prime but a ton of places instead on one.

$33: Lot18.com

A few moths ago, I signed up with Lot 18, a fine foods and wine e-tailer, and got a $20 credit using a promo code I found on Slickdeals. They are currently having a sale on 2007 Ruston Vineyards Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvingnon. I picked up 2 bottles that retail for $45 and paid $11.86 after the Lot 18 sales price and my signup credit. Bottoms up!

I wanted to let you guys know about two more medical discounts I found last weekend. The first…

Contact Lenses

My doctor charges me $80 per 90 count box, so if I want 6 months of lenses it would usually be around $320. This time I used Vision Direct, which is a super low-cost contact lens site. I went through Ebates, which had 16% cash back at Vision Direct (it was a daily double). They have a new customer coupon for 25% off your total order. My final cost after cash back was $193, which is an amazing 40% off retail price. After I mail in my acuvue rebates, it will be nearly 50% off retail. Take that, eye doctor.

Next, a new method for Prescription Medication savings.

For those of you who don’t know, I have a highly acidic esophagus, which requires a very expensive medication – like $47 per month after insurance. It’s crazy. Anyway, I was talking to my friend (whose dad is a pharmacist) to see what my other options were, and I pulled up the medication website on my phone. These websites have coupons, people. I had no idea. This one covers the out of pocket cost up to $55. I just filled the prescription today and it cost me $0. And according to the coupon, all of my refills will be free as well. All because I checked out the drug manufacturer’s website. I pulled up the websites for some of my other prescriptions and found 2 more coupons.

Now combine that with the prescription transfer methods I use on a regular basis and we are potentially making a profit of $60 and getting free medication. How fantastic is that?

So I saved $174 this weekend just by using the internet. That’s a pair of shoes!
